[Kathryn Lloyd]

In a wild field at  

Anne Bartley Smith Property - High Tor

in Ontario Heritage Properties

N 43° 57.835 W 079° 29.214

17T E 621385 N 4868978

Anne Bartley Smith Property - High Tor - Highest point of land in York Region

My husband saw a beautiful, bright, fresh-looking Monarch.  (What would be the furthest point north that it would have begun its journey?)

Sorry - no photo to include.

Apart from 1 other sighting, also on May 19, 2019, this is the earliest we've seen a Monarch this early (in the same general area).
